Vegan and Healthier Blueberry Buckle Made with Whole Wheat Flour Recipe @SpicieFoodie | #vegan #blueberries #dessert

Last week I made my first blueberry buckle and it tasted awesome, thanks to a great recipe from Vegetarian Times magazine. I was amazed that even though it’s a vegan recipe, it was moist, sweet and fantastic tasting! Below is the recipe so you can taste it, maybe even this weekend with some vanilla ice cream on the side — yum!

    I haven’t had Blueberry Buckle in years but always loved it. I like your version with whole wheat flour. I’ll have to try it.

    As for subscribing, I signed up for Feedly but I’ve noticed others also use BlogLovin. Do you only subscribe to one or is it best to subscribe to both, or does it matter?

    • Spicie Foodie says

      June 28, 2013 at 14:56

      You should Vicki, it adds another nuttiness to it that’s great! Next time I’ll try the full spelt version.

      Only one should suffice, as you should be able to import all of the blog’s you read into either. I’m using bloglovin’ and will only use that or email subscriptions.

    I adore blueberries, so glad they are in season now. And a buckle is totally new to me, second time I see some. I did my feedly transfer for all my feeds :-)

    That looks delicious and I would eat it for breakfast too. The Italians are great at eating cake first thing in the morning. Maybe they know a thing or two we don’t.

      Good for you Kiersten, we wouldn’t want to loss any of our readers. It’s a bummer and now I hope they don’t do away with Feeburner next — can you imagine? Thanks, I hope you bake some buckle soon.

    This blueberry cake looks SO moist and SO delicious! I’m sure it is quite healthy, but based on the fact that I would not be able to stop eating it, I definitely would consume some calories. :) Well, you know I’m following you. It’s amazing how many ways there are! How does one keep up with it all?

      It was so moist and the flavour was incredible. Haha, yeah that was my problem too.:) It’s all very time consuming, like a job all to itself, lol! Thanks MJ, I’m following you in many if not all those places too.

    A gorgeous vegan egg free blueberry cake. Some people here in India would go crazy for it since it is vegan and I bet I would love it as much, if not even more, then a regular cake.
    I am following you via feedly so I won’t miss a post but I thought I d join finally bloglovin too so I found your just a few hours earlier there. =)
